Nepenthes tentaculata

The Fringed pitcher-plant comes from habitats with plentiful sunlight, such as open bogs and sunny wetlands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun.

Fringed pitcher-plant prefers moderate temperatures, about the same range most people find comfortable. It does best in conditions that are neither overly hot nor overly cold. The primary problem with high temperatures is an increased risk of sunburn, so it’s wise to provide some shade in summer to avoid excessive heat. When temperatures fall, the Fringed pitcher-plant becomes dormant. If you want it to continue growing, you need to keep winter temperatures higher. Frost can damage the plant and should be avoided.

When repotting Fringed pitcher-plant, select a pot 1-2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) larger with ample drainage. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring or fall, ensuring the root ball is slightly lower than the rim of the flower pot. Water thoroughly after repotting and place the plant in a warm spot with indirect sunlight.
